Yeah, but it all started with the videogame didn´t it? I read that the idea
for pokémon came in 1995, when the game started to be developed. Perhaps the
anime came before the game. I think it did, because the "pokémon" show was
on the TV news when lots of children had to go to a hospital after wathcing
it(1). That was back in 97, and the game was released in 98, i think.

times (could be more or less) during one second. That gave some children
epilepsy.
